no one should take a word back like they own it the double standard many blacks have toward the word nigger is hypocritical and asinine if you claim to call yourself and other black people nigga to take the bite out of it then dont act like youre having nam flashbacks to roots every time you hear a white person use it its either a slur or it isnt the best way is to just take the bite of it altogether like chan did with fag it started out as a derogatory suffix then got used selfdeprecatingly until nowadays people call themselves thisfag and thatfag without a second thought its just their way of saying ism and its mutually understood by the chan community both gay and straight that no insult is intended in its use in that context
